VTG Sterling Multi Stone Inlay Belt Buckle Duck Pictorial Roland Eustace Zuni
Here's a magnificent vintage sterling silver belt buckle with a wonderful duck-in-nature pictorial. On a heavy gauge silver base, the artist used mother of pearl, coral, abalone and jet to create the ducks. The gemstone pieces sit a little above the base of the belt, creating a 3D effect. Abalone and brown shell were used for the cattails, while turquoise is set for the trees in the background. The edge of the belt is hand stamped.
The buckle is 3 5/8" wide and 2 3/8" tall.
The buckle loop will fit up to a 1 5/8" belt.
It weighs a notable 74 g.
The artist signed this piece, "Roland Eustace" a Zuni silversmith. This piece was likely created in the mid-1970s.
